Overwatch League skins 2018: New team designs for Opening Week

The Overwatch League is kicking off in 2018, with these new team skins coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC.

The money apparently won’t be going to Blizzard, but will be used to fund your chosen team, with other changes being implemented too.

League commissioner Nate Nanzer has also confirmed that new currency - League Tokens - will be used to buy League Skins.

This is being implemented so that it is easier to track fan net-spend on the Overwatch League, keeping it separate from the base game’s loot box economy.

The main difference will be that players will be able to spend money on the exact Overwatch skin they want, rather than a random drop.

Today the Overwatch League also revealed a new deal with Twitch, ensuring that every match of the world’s first major global city-based esports league will be readily available to fans across the globe.

The first match of the Overwatch League’s inaugural season goes live on Twitch this Wednesday, January 10, on Twitch.tv/overwatchleague.

Fans of professional Overwatch have been eagerly anticipating a seamless Overwatch League viewing experience.

This two-year deal, which encompasses the entirety of the league’s first two seasons, makes that a reality. With the exception of China, Twitch will be the exclusive worldwide third-party digital provider for Overwatch League regular-season, playoffs, and championship matches, with streams in English, Korean, and French

“Our fans love to engage with content on Twitch, and we wanted to drive significant viewership of the Overwatch League in its inaugural season and beyond,” said Armin Zerza, COO of Blizzard Entertainment.

"The Overwatch League is making a major impact on esports by reshaping the industry with city-based teams," said Kevin Lin, COO of Twitch. "Given Overwatch's consistent reign as a top-viewed game by our community, we look forward to offering their pioneering style of league play to a large and passionate fanbase that will be able to bond over not only their favorite plays, but hometown pride.”
